Academia de los Nocturnes Bobal

This youthful, juicy Spanish red wine hails from Utiel Requena in the Valencia wine region and uses the native Bobal grape. Deep ruby in colour, it shows cherry, vanilla and herbaceous aromas. The palate brings black cherry and damson alongside smooth tannins and a touch of liquorice on the finish. Try with lamb, cured meats, barbecue dishes or paella. 

Pago de Tharsys winery sits in Utiel-Requena, located west of Valencia city in the Valencia region on Spain’s east coast. Bobal is the area’s flagship native grape variety and makes up the majority of vine plantings. Established as an appellation in the 1950’s Utiel-Requena has a long history of viticulture dating back to the 7th century BC.
